Live-music venues worth the trip in Gainesville, Florida

A 10,000-square-foot room on University Avenue that bills itself downtown Gainesville’s best and biggest venue, with drinks, dancing and live music in the heart of the city.

A state-of-the-art performing arts venue and production studio founded in 2017 out of the marriage of two Gainesville recording studios, Mirror Image and Medusa, and now run as a nonprofit.
